"This place is disgusting. Seriously DONT STAY HERE. Room photos are completely fake. This room is small, dilapidated, and smells gross. When you leave, you will want to shower that stench off you immediately. Entire hotel requires carrying baggage up 3 stories in a tiny staircase. Rooms are higher up than that. Hard to get suitcases up. "
